Was there some hot/spicy moments, heck yes! But I couldn't connect with the story at all. I didn't find the characters lovable and had no connection to them. Also I didn't really feel like this was a Hades/Persephone story. Other than the characters names, it made no sense! There were real life mentions of places like Ohio, no real mythical/Greek things played out, and the characters weren't "gods." Would have enjoyed more if it were in a different world, maybe a political storyline or a historical kingdom. Not for me, and I won't continue with the series.
